Waist to Hip Ratio
.
Waist to hip ratio indicates where fatty deposits are located. It is a good tool to be used in conjunction with BMI.
The waist hip ratio is calculated by dividing your waist measurement by your hip measurement. The formula is:
WHR= waist circumference / hip circumference
Waist Circumference
Larger waist measurements are a predictor of developing a chronic disease where high levels of visceral fat or intra-abdominal fat are present (i.e. fat stored around the abdominal region).
This is the chronic disease risk indictor from the Australian Government. 
A good resource on WHR is ‘Me and My Waist’
